no they have a antifreeze made for all makes and modles and color
^ you sir do not know what your talking about. Yes on VW/Audi's you must use G11/G12 trust me dont use the green stuff for all cars. It destroys your cooling system trust me i know I did that to my GTI because I needed coolant fast. If you put the green stuff in hurry up and flush it out and replace with with the Pink or Red G12. check out this site for anymore vw question www.vwvortex.com

You must use only G12 for any Volkswagen vehicle made after 1997. VW specifies only fully organic or OAT (Organbic Acid Technology) coolant in these vehicles. If you add any other coolant to G12 it will turn it into a brown, sludgy goo. See www.wunderkar.ca/fluid.html for some info and pictures.

Is it safe to use Peak Long Life antifreeze in a 1997 Volkswagen VW Jetta?
According to the Bentley service manual covering the 1997 Volkwagen Jetta GL (Special:Booksources), these Jettas ship from the Volkswagen factory with red G12, a "phosphate-free and also silicate-free" coolant (page 0-16).Peak's Long Life coolant "features a phosphate-free and silicate-free formula". Furthermore, combining Long Life with G12 "will not change the current antifreeze color." I've been topping off the red G12 coolant on my 1997 Jetta for two months now. The color of the coolant is still red, and using a hydrometer to test the coolant hasn't revealed anything abnormal, like foamy deposits or dirt fragments.

Is it true that you cannot mix any antifreeze in a 2000 VW Beetle GLX 1.8 turbo except the VW antifreeze G12A8D that is only available from the dealer for 25 dollars?
Yes, you must use G12 type antifreeze which is similar to Dex-cool but they are not the same. But that doesn't mean you have to buy it from the dealer at $25. There may be other sources. PEAK® Global LifeTime™ claims to be a replacement for G12 but considering the importance of using the proper coolant, I would use only a G12 coolant.
